New on DVD
RYAN: New on DVD today we have “27 Dresses” starring Katherine Heigl.
CAROLINE: It’s so weird to watch “Grey’s Anatomy” now where she’s a supporting character when she’s in reality the biggest movie star of all of them, other than Patrick Dempsey. And with that, allow me to reiterate how excited I am for “Made of Honor.”
RYAN: We know how psyched you are, honey. Getting back to “27 Dresses,” I loved James Marsden in this movie.
CAROLINE: I didn’t think he and Katie Heigl had the best chemistry, but the movie had some really cute moments that definitely make it worth renting.
RYAN: There aren’t any great extras on this DVD – just some featurettes about the dresses and stuff. But if you like Katherine Heigl as we do, you’ll enjoy her in this movie.
CAROLINE: And don’t forget Judy Greer as her hilarious best friend. She’s brilliant.
RYAN: I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention that “The Golden Compass” also comes out on DVD today. It was one of my most anticipated movies last year, and I was so disappointed that it underperformed at the box office. But I’m loving the special 2-disc edition that I just bought.
RYAN: It’s one of the best, and most underrated films of last year!
CAROLINE: Yeah, they were supposed to make a trilogy out of it but it looks like that ain’t happening anymore.
RYAN: It’s so sad because next to Harry Potter, it’s possibly the best series of books. And I was really looking forward to seeing Nikky Kidman in a franchise.
CAROLINE: With Daniel Craig no less. LBH, I didn’t love this movie. It’s a fantasy, which isn’t really my bag. But I was admittedly surprised at how poorly this movie did last year, considering how great the special effects were.
RYAN: It won the Oscar for special effects. Go ahead and buy the DVD. Or at the very least, rent it.

I wouldnt call Heigl a supporting cast member..its pretty much an ensemble these days. Of course she is also the shows Emmy winner..and has been nominated for a Golden Globe the last 2 years in a row for Izzie…so I would say she is probably the biggest player on Grey’s as well. Dempsey’s movie haven’t gotten anywhere near the same level of attention that Heigl’s have either.
